Best 3 Maple Pecan Sweet Potatoes Recipes

COCONUT WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE-PECAN DRIZZLE

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the pot. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and remove lid. Let cool until a bit safer to handle - I give it about 5 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooling a bit, make the maple-pecan drizzle. Place the pecans and 1/3 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan and set over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until warm and bubbling, a couple of minutes (depending on your stove top). Remove from heat.
• Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes, starting on low speed and then gradually increasing to high speed to help decrease splatter. Be careful! Note that if you have a non-stick pan, you may want to transfer the potatoes to a bowl first so you don't risk getting any teflon in your potatoes. Teflon potatoes bad!
• Taste the potatoes and add more salt if desired. Scoop into a serving bowl and spoon the warm maple-pecan drizzle over the top. Serve.

MAPLE PECAN SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then into wedges if they're fat. Combine the maple syrup, lime juice and water, and toss with the sweet potatoes in the baking dish until they are thoroughly coated. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and bake 45 minutes until tender.
• Turn up the heat to 425 degrees. Uncover the dish, baste the sweet potatoes with the syrup in the baking dish and sprinkle on the pecans. Continue to bake uncovered until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve, or allow to cool slightly before serving.
